@Streetwise I love it!! I expect to see more of your stuff here in the future ;-) @un1 I love the use of SAM, it really fits in. It looks just like a 19th century city!!

I was just wandering, is it possible to have say a piece that you plop over a crossing (N-S & W-E) so that trains cant change what line there on? That sounds a bit confusing, Let me rephrase it. Can you have something like a road overpass but for a subway? You could even have it puzzle piece based so that you create it above ground as say, a park, and then there is pieces that you can connect the subway too underground. If this were possible then you could have a way to have seperate subway lines. Also as there are many lots on the STEX that can convert Car traffic into subway traffic, this could have uses there too. Just wandering, Matty

GREAT!! I look forward to it :-)

I was just thinking, could someone make a lot that you plop onto a road but on the side (surrounded by an invisible texture) is some kind of graffiti tag? That way any building (with a suitable wall) could have graffiti!
-
I noticed that a station has been added onto the STEX. Has the mod been released?

Welcome to simtropolis! 1. Yes, but only when there is no trash in it. You can do this by building a new place for the trash to go to and removing all connections. BE AWARE that there is a bug in the game that can cause the last 4 squares to be there for anything up to 100 years + ! 2. No, but you can use something like the AIRPORT SHUTTLE (you will need to register at both the site and the exchange, the shuttle is in the pack along with many other interesting lots) to increase the demand in the city and create the imitation of sims traveling outside the city. 3. The boston central artery project is out there somewhere, i am afraid i do not have time to find it. Good luck with your questions

I suppose the only way to make it would be to modify an existing building. It would require making new textures, but i am sure it can be done. I personally have no modding experience so cannot help you further, however i hope i have started the ball rolling for what is potentially a new level of realism to an already fantastic (although outdated) game.

@ytr45 I made it by simply using the hole digging lots. If you want more details then there are a few tutorials on the omnibus. @Pizza I think your pictures dont work. Try posting them on a site like image shack where there is no subscription fees. Originally posted by: Muck308 My latest airport. From Tuscarora. quote> Muck, i notice a great highway intersection at the top right hand corner of the picture. Can you tell me where you got it from? Thanks in advance, Big Thing

El-Rail/GLR - Where is the train?
bigthing replied to TurboGunHawk's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
You might want to check the settings too. The automata settings should be high if you wish to see trains. Expect visual effects at about 100-300 riders. Good luck! BigThing -
Building new highways in a dense city
bigthing replied to SciTech's topic in SimCity 4 General Discussion
If you were to go for a highway option it may be a good idea that you use the RHW project. THis actually looks quite good in urban environments. Not only that but it is... 1. more flexible 2. easy to upgrade 3 you can have up to 10 lanes of traffic. 4. IT LOOKS COOL! 5.You can be very creative with it and create great intersections that curve around existing structures. 6.In the new version that is to be released you will be able to create a new series of slip roads. Its your choice but i would definatly go with this. -
These are fantastic! @Streetwise I love your usage of canals!! You certainty have some talent! @wiecher I look forward to seeing the completed suburb!
-
I believe that they are coming in the next version of RHW

El-rail stops showing traffic patterns
bigthing replied to Martin892's topic in NAM & Transit Networks
A way to confirm this is to see weather cars can cross rail road crossings or if you can UDI a train. If that is the case just follow Cathy's instructions AND make sure you select all the options you had in the last installation otherwise you may end up loosing various items in your cities. Good Luck!! -

If that were the situation i think that he/she would have to release a patch, like the BTM-HSRP patch. Good to here about the Starter piece option, i am defiantly gong to get this!

Preview XIII: The Times They Are A'Changin...
bigthing commented on deathtopumpkins's City Journal Entry in Virgin Shores (3.0) - CLOSED! Now replaced by Virgin Shores (4)
Why only use things for what they are supposed to do? Well actually it is doing partly what it was supposed to do, being a fire station and all but you all know what i mean right? -
I posted this in my own Show us your...Most Prized Creations thread where it got good reviews. I decided to post it here. (sorry about it being a quote but it was just much faster like this) Originally posted by: bigthing Well i think its about time i posted one of mine!!!! This is New Simlantis International Airport (NSIA). This is the biggest airport i have created to date. It is now awaiting the release of RMIP3 To upgrade it runways for the larger airplanes (that have somehow already got here). Sorry for the UDI buttons, i forgot to take them off. There is still a lot to do but this is defiantly a working progress More pictures coming soon (along with possible expansion) quote>

high speed rail/monorail hybrid bug thingy
bigthing replied to Weecaeks's topic in SC4 Bugs & Technical Issues
@k808j ok, guess i was wrong... :-P -
I just realised that this thread was nominated for best Show Us Your... Thread! The prize went to Show us your...Interchanges and i congratulate haljackey for his achievement. That thread defiantly should have gotten it. Go along and take a look at the engineering marvels created by the beautiful members of Simtropolis!!
-
For the stations you could have a lift in a smaller tube that goes up the side. Could this be made as a starter piece based mod? That way people can still use the monorail.
-
@ Kskrs That's awesome, thanks! @Evillions The Middle East has expanded!! The Sim Mars mod is certainly moving along nicely! Looking forward to its final release!
-
@Daan300 That has got to be one of the most realistic cities i have ever seen! I love the rivers! Extremely well done !! ***** @KSKRS What mod have you used to make the underside of the highway so realistic! @buildsolid I see that you are getting used to Pegasus's new set!
